Measles.

There are some thirty or forty cases
of measles in the neighborhood of
Friendship Church, Thoroughfare
Neck. These cases broke out almost
simultaneously virtual epidemic.
The cause is attributed we learn to a
person coming home with measles
caught while visiting in the northern
part of the State, and going to the
prOtracted meeting at the above named
church before entirely recovering.
The confined and heated air of the
church seems to have conveyed the
disease to nearly or all in the house
who have not heretofore had it. One
or more persons from this town who
were at the meeting caught the infec-
ton, and were down with the disease
last week.

dressed to chairman Morrill, Of the
Sen-se finance committee in which he
argues, not for reciprocity treaty or
a new form Of bargaining over the
fisheries with Canada, but for an
agreement between the two countries
to maintain an equal tariff rate against
all other nations, and to trade unre-
strictedly with each other, dividing the
revenues received at the custom houses
of the two countries according to their
respective populations. In approach

conditions Of fact present themselves

THE editor of the SUSSEX Journal has
dropped the absorbing question of a
Convention long enough to introduce
another vexed question, viz: wheth-
er it is the duty of Senator's wives to
call on the wives of Members of the
Cabinet or vice versa" If the solution
in the latter case is reached no more
easily than in the other, some of the
ladies in question may never have the

The Corn Market

The past week has been one of unu-
sual excitement in the corn market
with its rapidly advancing figures day
by day. Last week we quoted it at 50
cents for extra dry, which was a lump
ofseveral cents from what it had been.
Such was the rise in the city market
that by Saturday 90 cents was offered
here, and yesterday morning the tor
notch of 50 cents was reached, recedine
in the afternoon under the unfavorable
news of a fall in the city market to
"a cents, and to-day down to 90 cents
Just when to sell in the feverish state
OF the market is what perplexes the
farmers.

A CONFEDERATE MATCH FACTORY
Matches That Had to be Watched To Pro.
vent Solf-Ignition.

Tho first match factory in the Con.
federacy, was in or rather near Atlanta.
Tho owner was an Atlanta man. These
matches were sold from Richmond to
the gulf.
Unlike some of our recent experiments
IN that line, there was no trouble about
lgnitin9 the matches. A man did not
nave to strike one sixteen times, and
finally have to hit it on the head with n
hammer, or light it by the fire. His
man tronble was to keep the thing
rom going off prematurely, and the only
cIectual safeguard was to keep it in a
bottle of water. They were the most
utterly too previous matches ever seen
III this or any other country.
mo enterprise was never profitable,
because half the stock was invariably lost
ny spontaneous combustion. Wapon
loads OF matches on their way from the
factory to the city would burst into n
blaze half way on tho road, soaring the
driver and his mules out of their senses.
Several Atlanta stores handled these
useful marvels of home enterprise. but
customers were cautioned to tread lightly
Tor fear of jarring the matches into a
conilagration, and clerks were detailed to
SIT up every night to watch the trouble
some stock.
The owner of this match factory put
up the stuff in which the matches were
dipped, and sold it for rat poison. 1t
certainly killed the rats, but the nasty
character of the stuff created such a panic
In the city that the industry had to be
squelchcd.
A whitehall street merchant bought a
ooX OF the poison one day and carrying it
TO his store, tried to spead dab OF it
on piece of dry bread as bait for tho
rats. He gave it one spread when there
was "whish! !" and tho whole affair
biazed up in his face, singeing off his
whiskers.
few similar experiments preiudiced
tho people against the new poison. They
said it was too rough on the rats to burn
out their stomachs with such an ex-
plosive.
complete collection of Atlanta's
manufactured products from go to '65
would be worth seeing. AS museum
OF curiosities it would draw crowds in
